Used Car of the Day: 2003 Volkswagen Eurovan Weekender MV

It's been awhile since we've had some van time. Today, though, we rectify that with this 2003 Volkswagen Eurovan Weekender MV.


The seller is the third owner and has owned it since 2016. He or she says it's been mostly used for camping, and it sits in a garage when not being used for sleeping in the woods.

Our seller says the van has been well maintained but more maintenance is due soon.

It does indeed look like a serious amount of maintenance work has been done, judging by the list provided in the ad.

There are some concerns, though. The mileage is 235K, the windshield has a cracked, it will need timing chains soon, and there's air injection leak. Oh, and the torque converter lockup is "weak."

The asking price is $17,000 for this Tennessee-based van, and the seller also has a running parts-bin Eurovan that will be thrown in. Our seller will also take trades.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    Just because you don't see many of them on the road doesn't mean they go up in value. I'm sure finding parts for it will be an adventure. 🙄

    That fold out table would have been awesome...until you hit something. It's a cult car, and there probably aren't many left, which explains the silly price.
  • SCE to AUX I can't warm up to the new look. Still prefer my 22 SF.
  • SCE to AUX I guess the direct sales stores weren't polled. Unless dealers are going out of business, I don't feel one bit sorry for them. They should most fear the mfrs who are eager to get rid of them, reducing costs and increasing customer satisfaction.
  • Buickman trade frequently!
  • Lou_BC I guess I should pry all of the logos off my vehicle. That is a form of advertising. Anyone wearing 'branded" clothing?
  • Loser Ve few people understand the importance of rotating the air in your tires every 5,000 mile. Then at 20,000 you need to remove the stale air in your tires and install fresh air.
